The rankings, metrics, analytics, college visits, and advice that we use today to help us make these decisions are out of step with the progress individual students are trying to make. They don't give students and families the information and context they need to make such a high-stakes decision about whether and where to get an education. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoosing College\u003c\/i\u003e strips away the noise to help you understand why you're going to school. What's driving you? What are you trying to accomplish? Once you know why, the book will help you make better choices.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe research in this book illustrates that choosing a school is complicated.
